Description of key information

Skin irritation / Corrosion.

Two studies were evaluated on this endpoint as follows:

> A Skin Corrosion Test on rabbits according to the regulations of the Department of Transportation

No erythema or edema was observed at 4, 24, or 48 hours.

> A Primary Irritation Test on Guinea Pigs

A 10% solution of the test substance in DMAC caused mild and strong irritation, respectively, on the intact skin of guinea pigs. However control tests with the solvent produced strong erythema on both groups of guinea pigs.  It was therefore concluded that the effects observed were due to DMAC and that the test compound caused little or no irritation. 

Eye irritation.

Two studies were available on this endpoint as follows:

> In vitro test:

A study was performed to assess the ocular irritancy potential of the test material to the isolated bovine cornea. The neat test material was applied for 240 minutes. Negative and positive control materials were tested concurrently.The test material was considered not to be an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.

> In vivo test:

After treating with the test substance, washed and unwashed rabbit eyes had slight corneal clouding. The unwashed eye also displayed mild conjunctivitis. Both eyes were normal 1 day after treatment. This material may therefore cause mild ocular effects, however these are not deemed severe enough to result in classification or labelling.

three strong and one mild erythema, six negative

 

DMAC only

three strong, three moderate and two mild erythema, one negative

 
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The 10% solution of 4,4'-oxydianiline in DMAC caused mild and strong irritation, respectively, on the intact skin of guinea pigs. Control tests with the solvent produced strong erythema on both groups of guinea pigs.
It was therefore proposed that the test compound caused little or no irritation per se, and appeared to lessen the irritative effect of DMAC.
Executive summary:

The substance, as a 10% w/w solution in dimethylacetamide (DMAC), was applied to the shaved intact skin of 10 albino guinea pigs. Observations were made after 24 hours contact. A control test with DMAC was performed on each animal in the same way.

The 10% solution of 4,4'-oxydianiline in DMAC caused mild and strong irritation, respectively, on the intact skin of guinea pigs. Control tests with the solvent produced strong erythema on both groups of guinea pigs.

The irritancy effects noted within this study are proposed to be related to the solvent only, and not to the substance itself. Therefore the test compound is considered to cause little irritaion or not to cause irritation.

4.1 – Pre-Test Procedures

4.1.1 Source of Bovine Eyes

Eyes from adult cattle were obtained from a local abattoir as a by-product from freshly slaughtered animals. The eyes were excised by an abattoir employee and placed in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), supplemented with Penicillin/Streptomycin, and transported to the laboratory on ice packs. The corneas were prepared immediately on arrival.

4.1.2 Preparation of Corneas

All eyes were macroscopically examined before and after dissection. Only corneas free of damage were used.

The cornea from each selected eye was removed leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera to facilitate handling. The iris and lens were peeled away from the cornea. The isolated corneas were immersed (epithelial side uppermost) in a dish containing HBSS until they were mounted in Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) holders.

The anterior and posterior chambers of each BCOP holder were filled with complete minimum essential medium (MEM) and plugged. The holders were incubated at 32 +/- 1°C for at least 60 minutes. At the end of the incubation period each cornea was examined for defects. Only corneas free of damage were used.

4.1.3 Selection of Corneas and Opacity Reading

The medium from both chambers of each holder was replaced with fresh complete MEM.

A pre-treatment opacity reading was taken for each cornea using a calibrated opacitometer. The average opacity for all corneas was calculated.

Three corneas were numerically allocated to the test material. Three corneas were also numerically allocated to the negative control material and three corneas to the positive control material.

4.2 Treatment of Corneas

The MEM was removed from the anterior chamber of the BCOP holder. The window-locking ring and glass window from the anterior chamber were removed and the neat test material was evenly sprinkled over the cornea. 350 mg of the neat test material was found to adequately cover the cornea surface. After dosing, the glass window and locking ring were replaced and each holder was incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 +/- 1°C for 240 minutes.

At the end of the exposure period the window-locking ring and glass window were removed to allow the test material preparation or control material to be removed from the anterior chamber. The corneas were rinsed three times with fresh complete MEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete MEM. The anterior and posterior chambers were refilled with fresh complete MEM. A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed.

4.3 Application of Sodium Fluorescein and Permeability Determinations

4.3.1 Application of Sodium Fluorescein

Following the opacity measurement the permeability of the corneas to sodium fluorescein was evaluated. The medium from the anterior chamber was removed and replaced with sodium fluorescein solution (5 mg/mL). The dosing holes were plugged and the holders incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 +/- 1°C for 90 minutes +/- 5 minutes.

4.3.2 Permeability Determinations

After incubation the medium in the posterior chamber of each holder was decanted and retained.

360 µl of medium representing each cornea was applied to a designated well on a 96-well plate and the optical density at 492nm (OD492) was measured.

If values greater than 1.500 OD492 were obtained a 1 in 5 dilution of the medium in complete MEM was performed and the measurement repeated. The modified value was multiplied by 5 to reflect the 1 in 5 dilution.

4.4 Histopathology

The corneas were retained after testing for possible conduct of histopathology. Each cornea was placed into a pre-labelled tissue cassette fitted with a histology sponge to protect the endothelial surface. The cassette was immersed in 10% neutral buffered formalin.

EVALUATION OF RESULTS

Results from the two test method endpoints, opacity and permeability, were combined in an empirically derived formula to generate an In Vitro Irritancy Score.

- Opacity Measurement:
The change in opacity for each cornea (including the negative control) was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values were then corrected by subtracting from each the average change in opacity observed for the negative control corneas. The mean opacity value of each treatment group was then calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for that treatment group.

- Permeability Measurement:
The corrected OD492 was calculated by subtracting the mean OD492 of the negative control corneas from the OD492 value of each treated cornea. The OD492 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the corrected OD492 values of the treated corneas for the treatment group.

In Vitro Irritancy Score:
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro score:

In Vitro Irritancy Score = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD492 value)

Additionally, the opacity and permeability values were evaluated independently to determine whether the test material induced a response through only one of the two endpoints.

Visual Observation

The condition of the cornea was visually assessed immediately after rinsing and at the final opacity measurement.

DATA INTERPRETATION

A test material that induces an in vitro irritancy score >55.1 is defined as an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.

In Vitro Irritancy Score

The results are summarised as follows:

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 1 or 2 according to the Klimish et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were not conducted to GLP (with the exception of the BCOP study) or in compliance with agreed protocols. The reports do not detail a specific method; however it documents dose levels and responses in detail, so is deemed appropriate for use in the support of a formal registration. Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

Justification for classification or non classification

The above results triggered no classification under CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008).
